Ofsted and Performance Data

School data:

We track pupil data throughout each year, analysing groups of children e.g. All Children, Boys, Girls, Free School Pupils and Non-Free School Meal Pupils etc. We use an in-house tracking system to track both progress and attainment.

Nationally we make use of a report entitled the IDSR - Inspection Data Summary Report - that guides our analysis of school performance.

We find that analysis of our internal school data and the IDSR helps us to identify the groups of pupils who require additional focus as well as helping us recognise and celebrate successes and plan our 'next steps' in school improvement.

It is expected that a school publish its data, and we are pleased to do so.

The data below is the broad headline data for Years 2 (end of KS1) and 6 (end of KS2) at the end of Summer 2022 compared with the previous years data (please note that there are gaps in the years due to the fast that there was no testing during the pandemic).

	2017 - 18	2018 - 19	2021 - 22

EYFS - Reading	64.0%	76%	57.1%
EYFS - Writing	59.0%	67%	38.9%
EYFS - Maths	68.0%	80%	64.8%

38.0% of the pupils by the end of Foundation Stage attained a Good Level of Development (GLD).

Some children began their schooling with particularly low starting points at the beginning of the Foundation Stage. The pupils attained at a lower standard than desired by the end of Foundation Stage this year, particularly due to Writing outcomes through the year. Children made good progress against their personal targets throughout the year.

Year 1 Phonics Screening: All Pupils Summer 2022

2019	83%
2020	NA
2021	NA
2022 Yr1	55%
2022 Yr2	59%

Our phonics results were lower than anticipated due in part to absences throughout the phonics assessment period. Our internal phonics assessments show that all children made good progress within their areas of development and we are committed to continue to deliver on the excellent whole phase and school approach that has been built across the school since Easter 2021 when RWI was introduced as the whole school phonics program.
